ISLAMABAD — Pakistan’s army has conducted a military exercise to shoot down drones, the Defense Ministry said Friday in the wake of repeated incidents involving unmanned U.S. drones flying across the border from Afghanistan targeting militant hideouts.
The ministry, in a statement, said the army’s air defense wing used surface-to-air Anza missiles and radar-controlled guns in the exercise conducted at Khudai range at Muzaffar Garh, about 480 kilometers southwest of Islamabad in Punjab province, which concluded Friday.

Why does this make me think of a mouse running up an elephant's leg, saying "Don't worry, sweetheart, I'll be gentle!"

Considering the amount of ordinance on a Reaper these days, "shooting back" is something of an understatement.

The funny thing is, the Reaper looks almost exactly like a Predator.. Except it's like twice the size.
